Alrighty, my lovely reader. I’ve written about moving home, minimalism, mothering, kids, creating stuff, writing a novel. Each month I feel like I have a brand new idea. Actually, I have lots of ideas, but many of them fit into my Won’t Write About That Publicly File.

Such non-starters include:

*Explicit stories about my kids’ private thoughts and lives (too many future therapy bills)

*Dragging strangers over the coals to be funny (trying to spread kindness here, even though I feel like there could be a bitingly wonderful blog post about that one woman who moans throughout an entire yoga class…)

*The Basic Mommy Blog that goes “I hate my life and my choices and my children with a burning passion for 8 paragraphs except for the last paragraph where everything is sunshine and rainbows because I now I feel guilty let’s publish this yeah!” (Those are inauthentic, disturbing, and sappy all congealed together in a burning crockpot of slop. Not to mention the fact that I like my life and my choices and my children and I would like them all to like me back…)

*My teaching job (dancing on the edge of ethics and also against the actual law in many instances)

I’ll tell you a secret. Something that has interested me for awhile would be an online book, published chapter by chapter in monthly increments. You can read for free, get a taste of my storytelling abilities, and then, Godwilling, when I finishing Draft 2 of The Ripple of Stones, find an editor, the editor finds a publisher, and the thing actually comes into being, you may want to actually spend a small bit of $ to buy the thing! After all, you’ve already read one! Why not another? Really, it’d be a twofer.

But still. You’ve stuck with me this long. I would like to know what interests you. What is valuable to your time and attention when you receive these tomes in your inbox each month?

So for this month’s installment, we’re going to turn this blog into a Goosebumps-themed Choose Your Own Adventure! My darling reader, would you please take this lovely poll?

Subscribers, you may have to click over to the website to take the poll. Thanks for the extra click!!

As always, thank you for reading. See you in June!
